"Microsoft wasn't expected to introduce a new OS every few years. Google wasn't tasked with creating a new search engine over and over again and HP and Dell churned out conventional PCs for many years without facing interrogation about the "next PC" replacement."

This is the best statement I've read all year.  great job with this article.

I never believed they are harboring some grudge.  I am sure they believe what they publish.  What bothers me is the way they (along with many media outlets) dramatize their findings.  It appears they are trying to drum up interest in themselves by releasing a dramatic headline.  That is what I do not recall happening in the Consumer Reports of the past.  Just like as was mentioned in this article: the dramatic headline brings the reader to a paywall to find out the reality of the details.  That, to me is not what I would expect from the impartial Consumer Reports of the past.
